[3DSMAX] Reference external materials (I can't use XREF Scene)
I have a complex scene of about 500MB. I can't use an 'XREF scene' because somehow it crashes 3dsmax for this particular file and I have not been able to determine why. When I start rendering and make interactions in scene and materials but not in the model, I don't want to have to save the unchanged 500MB of data each… -
Is it possible to revert 3dsmax back to the legacy shift+drag behaviour in edit poly / editable poly
I've not done much modelling by hand in a few years and miss the good old days where I could select an element, hold shift and duplicate it. Nowshift+move defaults to extruding your selected component and in the case of an element does nothing. I can detach to element as a clone but that is not fluid or pleasant and I… -
[ZBRUSH] UVW Smoothing problems (cumulative) and inconsistent with 3dsmax.
When I turn off smoothing for UV's in zbrush, the UVW's retain their shape, but the mapping of textures is wrong because there is no smoothing. The UV's are straight but the texture needs smooth UVW's. When I turn on Smoothing for UV's, they are smoothed but increasingly so. Each time I go up and down the subdivisions they… -
Blender, hard surface and traction in the industry.
Hi everyone, Since last year, i've been jumping on and off between Blender and Zbrush to find my own voice in 3DCG. I've grasped both software's basics and I've been diving more and more into hard surface. I'm making this topic because the search function throws nothing at me, I've been following Mario Elementza's… -
3dsMAX language localizations - help to find the name of the Command panel.
Hi! I found that in the version of 3dsMAX in languages different than english the name of the command panel is different.

Can you guys help me to find… -
Setting 3DSMAX units for UDK
Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a small level with real buildings using plans. But I can't set the units right in 3DSmax to get the same dimensions in UDK. In a tutorial to set units in max, I learned that a character is 96units in UDK (like skeletalmesh) and to have a character that is 1,8m tall I have to divide 180/96… -
Re: [3DSMAX] [SOLVED] Do Not Load any Bitmaps when Opening a Max File over Network

Exporting color map: 3dsMax to xnormal
Hi there, Kinda stuck here. Basically what I need is a flat color map to use in Ddo and I'm trying to achieve this using 3dsmax and xNormal. I have a highpoly model of a car in Max with various multicolored materials (multi-sub-object) assigned to the various parts (glass, chrome, paint, etc). I also have the low-poly… -
Problem Normal map in 3dsmax convexe and concave shapes
Hi everybody, :) :) I have some problems to bake a good normal map in 3dsmax for this object : I only had modeled one quarter of the object and made a symmetry on x and y axis to have the entire object. As a result, on the seams, I don't have a good result. I tried to enlarge he cage in the projection modifier but It… -
Transparency Tags in .mtl (3dsmax 2012)
Heya! I'm having some trouble with an exported .mtl. The Guruware .obj exporter (3dsmax 2012) exports both the "Tr" and the "d" tag. The specification (link) says that they're both used for the same purpose, transparency. That they're both exported isn't so much the problem, the real problem is they don't contain the same…
